I enjoy watching other people work, but Chris you really push the limit. Just the skeleton of your barn is beautiful, well done!

You get more done when you're not feeling well than most people do when they're at 100%. Beautiful build.

This is amazing. The sense of achitevement must be immense. To design the building yourself, mill the wood yourself, construct the component parts (with help) and then erect the building too (again with help) must be very satisfying. The barn looks beautiful so far!

You're amazing man. I hope you realise how inspiring this channel is. Thank you.

That is an amazing barn! Just 3 People! Incredible!! That barn will be there for generations! Feel better soon!

Thank the gods.......finally some friendly distraction from "the madness"! Top life, top work!

Kris, you are a national treasure, and Dot is the jewel in your crown. Really enjoying the barn build. Thank you both for the great content.

A big thanks to all of the good people helping Kris !!! Looking good, I'll be here for more.

'it's definitely gonna help innit?' 'it's not the right tool, but it's the one that's workin'' Just two minutes in and I've already heard more down to earth wisdom than in three years watching government.

An absolutely stunning structure, you are a true craftsman.

Thank you Kris. Poor weather, groin pain & virus yet you push through. We need your work ethic here in the states! Very well done. Get rest!

Once again, Dot's masterful control of the drone results in superb video spotlighting the intricacies of the barn construction. Her shot selection really allows viewers to feel involved in the building process. Kudos to you, Kris, for carefully powering through the virus and kudos for another excellent video for your viewers.

Wow👍 Look how far you’ve come👏👍❣️

This must be a prize-winning project of some kind.

I was getting worried! Nice with an update!

The shot beginning at 12:34 , absolutely beautiful.

"Hope you enjoyed the video." Understatement, Kris, understatement. The result of meticulous planning, draughtsmanship, and drive. This structure should be a grade 1 listed building already! But then, there would be too much regulation for you, I feel. Masterwork.

I am an elderly lady that remembers when men were men and they weren’t afraid of work. Kris, you are a definite “throw back” to a better era. I wish my grandsons had a fraction of your ability. You aren’t afraid to try and you’re brilliant. Thank you for letting us watch a real man work. May God Bless you and yours.

Absolutely fantastic work Kris! Barn is looking so big and strong!

Your barn will be a "work of art". Your channel should be called "The Art of Work".

Kris should be knighted as an original British genius. He must be the leading practical engineer in the Anglo Sphere. Hell of a man, and modest too.

Great job well built.Someone 300 years from now will be impressed!!!

Your barn is massive , and the efforts you exert are outstanding...!! Hooray for the whole crew..!! The view from your top floor reveals quite a beautiful panorama... windows should be up there...really enjoy this moment... it is proof that sheer backbone will always be respected... Well Done kris...!!

Gwil is kickin ass! Not easy work for an older gentleman. Great job on the barn.

You need to come to the Caribbean. Catch a flight to Puerto Rico & I'll show you how the locals do what you're doing. More solar than water turbines, recycled rain water & a huge diversity of fruits & veggies.. You'd love it. I have a place you can stay.

Wow, you look like a teenager with short hair and your lovely face. Have been sick for over a year and have missed a lot of your vids. Great work Kris.

A good trick would be to get a length of old chain link fence, lay it down in the bed and then load rocks on top of it. Then you can just hook a chain to the end of the chain link and a ground anchor point (tree etc.) and pull away and the rock will slide off. Then to get the chain link from out under the pile, just hook the chain back up to the trailer (far end of the pile) and pull away again and the chain link will roll up and over the pile. It also helps to have a stiffening bar or length of rebar woven into the chain link end section you're pulling from so you don't pull out a single strand of fencing.

Nice surprise for a Friday night with a beer 👍🏻💪🏻

Can’t beat a kris upload on a Friday. Will sit and watch when I’ve got some peace and quiet 👍🏻

The young Viking you have helping you is an absolute unit!

Oh good it’s kris, with a return to the barn. Put a smile on my face.

Love my Fridays when i see a Kris Harbour video ready to watch

What I said before, what a building, what a structure. The perfection how it all comes together. The design is great, Kris very good job, but the guys who made it, the carpenters, unbelievable 💪💪💪💪

Your barn is a thing of beauty, keep well and thanks for sharing. ❤

This is an amazing channel. And think on this Kris, these structures you're building, in 200years, after you're gone, and RU-vid is gone, that barn, and that greenhouse, and that workshop will still remain! Amazing. Makes you truly appreciate how the old timers made them without power tools.

I absolutely love the rain that blesses your life all the time,I’m envious of that liquid sunshine!

I can imagine your grand children saying in 60 years: Granpa built this in the twenties and is still as new. Congratulations. I thought your workshop was impressive but this built is so much more!!!

The effort and planning you put into all your projects puts us all to shame lol this is such an awsome build cant wait to see it finished, well done for soldiering on we have had so much crappy weather havnt we, nice one Kris keep chipping away 👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Tip of the hat to Sam and Gwil. Real troopers they are!

just knowing your barn exists gives me a smile 👍🏼

Kris - this barn build continues to amaze me - you really should give yourself some healing time (but I know you wont) this barn build is just fantastic

Congratulations for getting it done! Living vicariously thru you :)

Very impressive workmanship. That barn will outlast all of us !

Great work Kris, I hope everyone who watches these videos realises the hours of work to minutes of video ratio in play! Keep it up 👍

Kris harbour is my hero I admire his work ...

Woot! More Barn raising!

Late to the party, didnt get the notification, but that place is going to have to become a bed and breakfast. Looks great, thanks for the update and hope you are feeling much better now

A man who smiles knowing there's twenty tons of rock waiting to be hand-bombed in the pissing rain is indeed living his elemental life. Good to have you back Kris.

You and your crew should be really proud of what you’ve achieved so far

I totally agree with you Kris about working in even grotty weather is far more for filling than lying on a beach in the Carribean. A great sense of achievement. You are amazing.

Congratulations.

Looking great, Kris … that building is going to be there for hundreds of years

Dot on Drone controls.. well done.. looking fantastic!

love the geese watching you unload the trailer.....lol. love our critters!

Really taking shape. Looks great. Thanks for the video.

Beautiful building, should stand for hundreds of years. Bet someone ends up turning it into a grand old home someday.

The view @31.45 is amazing . . . .

Put a wooden beam in front of the trailer, 2 ropes on either end, attach ropes to something solid, drive forward, trailer unloaded!

That's to good to be just a barn. What a nice top floor home. That would make. Brilliant as always.

Thanks for the presentation Kris - really enjoyed it - sorry you've not been well. Like you, when I was younger I never relished lying on a beach - I always wanted to be doing something useful!! Best wishes and I look forward to the next episode,

Fantastic craftsmanship, this barn will last a very long time. Well done.

Well done. Man that is difficult and precise work. I hope that you are feeling better soon. 🇨🇦

What a line: "its not the right tool, but its the one thats working" Been there dude! 😅

Another stroke of the artist’s brush

Wow 515k subscribers! About time you got more recognition I've been following you since about 20k

Very nice work getting the trusses up on 3-man power. I think one of the top floor corners would be a nice afternoon tea room overlooking the fields. Just need a table and a couple of chairs, enjoy the scenery :-)

I am enjoying the idea of "time is not important". (so it is portrayed) If this is the "pace of life" in your area, then that's where I should have lived my life.

that barn will outlast all of us. he builds stuff well.

Pretty nice having an old guy to do the shifting!

You can be proud of what was accomplished here.

Love watching this work of art go up. Beautiful build.

I think you're an awesome driven person, and maybe because you are so focused on your vision, you don't realise that the people who work for you are quite clued up and you can come across as quite condensing. I wouldn't want to work with you. In the nicest possible way. Because you're a good person xxx

Remarkable progress while ill. Thank you for perservering when you can barely stand up. Feel Better soon!

If this is the barn, the house will be a palace!

Love this project, scratch that I love all your projects, these are the things that I have longed to do, but I am no longer able by myself congratulations on making the right decision early

Look after yourself, silly accidents happen when your not feeling 100%. It's really looking good. Shout-out to the team of carpenters you made the frame with, they and you did a cracking job.

It’s very helpful to have the two gentlemen helping you. You couldn’t have done it alone.

Watching this video from the British Virgin Islands! 🏝

Bloody fantastic, the barn is comming together despite the Welsh summer😎😎

Well done kris what an experience to build such a great building from milling to assembly

Now the frames up. personally I Will breath easy when the Truss's are on & the sheet's are on the purlins & trusses.

Giday from Ottawa Canada. Must be so gratifying seeing your barn come together so beautifully. Amazing workmanship.👍☕️🍻🇨🇦😊

So much work to put in a barn. I😊f I was me with all the work it would be my home. Beautiful work !!!

Well done all of you. The team is really coming together. 👍

👍👌👏 Very well done (video and work). This fantastic barn looks like a beautiful, sturdy work of art to me. Congrats for all the progress shown in this video. Very nice stones by the way. The very special metal heavy duty beam connectors that you fabricated, are looking really great. 2) I hope that you will soon have recovered from your infection completely. I was happy to hear that you had some quality time with your family. I bet that all of them are very proud of you. By the way, if I'm allowed to say that: I'm very proud of you too. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.

for some reason youtube unsubscribed me. I had trouble finding you again, but I am glad I did!!!

I will have to watch the rest after I get out of work. That is quite the load of rock!

Really enjoyed this one that much I've watched it twice already ,can see your well chuffed think everyone watching is aswell

I’ve really looked forward to this video. You keep me(mostly) sane. 👍😁❤️

I am loving every minute of this build.

Built better than most Churches I have seen !!! I love it !!! Been here since the tires under the Yert !!!

I’m sure Kris was there when they built the Pyramids! Fantastic job guys.

Watched you from the start ,you never fail to amaze me,how you progressed through such a short time is awesome (a man after my own heart )so to speak ,

If you maintain your landrover then very reliable, my 200tdi 110 is 31 years old now and still tows the scout trailer

Amazing brain and muscle power at every stage of this barn build. Enthralling stuff!

Been excited to see another update! Looking so good!
